The Best Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Happy Thursday Y’all!

I’m dedicating this biscuit recipe to my cousin Pat…

It’s time to make the biscuits, making biscuits can be a scary undertaking. However, once you get that first good batch, it’s like breathing. My Aunt Veronica taught me how to make biscuits over 20 years ago, and I haven’t looked back since.

If you live in the South, then you know that cornbread and biscuits are a staple. They’re both filling and so easy to make. If you’re in need of an easy and delicious cornbread recipe, be sure to click here. I absolutely love bread and I love a good biscuit with jelly, syrup, sausage, or sausage gravy. I’m hungry, so let’s get baking!

As always before we begin cooking, we need a list of ingredients.

Ingredients for Homemade Biscuits

-2 cups of White Lily Self-rising flour

-3 tablespoons of sugar

-1/4 cup of Vegetable shortening

-1/2 cup of White lily flour for the countertop

-2 tablespoons of melted butter to brush onto biscuits

All-Purpose or Self-Rising Flour

I have used both in biscuit recipes and I prefer to use self-rising flour. It’s also more convenient because then you don’t need baking powder or baking soda. All the ingredients are already in the self-rising flour. I also feel the biscuits come out fluffier and flakier, but it’s simply about personal preference.
